Kamala Harris is expected to announce the Democratic vice-presidential candidate, putting an end to a series of speculations regarding the choice of the person who may become the party’s future leader.
After the announcement, Kamala Harris and her chosen running mate are expected to hold a large rally in Philadelphia. The aim of the campaign is to resolve the internal divisions that have emerged within the party on the way to the presidential elections.
Kamala Harris and her team have had several days to consider numerous candidates, while many of her fellow Democrats, activists, and potential candidates have tried to influence her decision.
Who Advises Kamala Harris
According to the New York Times, the Democratic nominee has been briefed by a small group of official and unofficial advisers, including Barack Obama, to whom she has turned on several issues.
Some candidates have tried to appeal to friends of Kamala Harris, seeking to reach her or people who are her trusted advisers.
Two presumptive front-runners, Gov. Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania and Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota, have spoken with Democratic lawmakers in recent days. A former chairman of the Democratic National Committee mentioned receiving phone calls from a potential vice-presidential candidate asking for endorsements.
